electromechanical punk where computing is done with relays because the planet's least capable, least knowledgeable, least useful people are the richest by far trading all solid state electronics with each other for an infinite money glitch

"jack me in" I say as a jones plug is crunched into my neck
20 thick pins into 20 old corroded metal pin holes each with a separate wire running from it. bottom of old pinball machine has a bunch of electromechanical coils connecting up to wires mounted on wood.

old Family Guy meme shows the dad sitting in a green recliner, holding up a TV remote. he originally says in the usual meme ah sweet man-made horrors beyond my comprehension. I have edited the text so instead it says ah sweet completely f-word-ing avoidable horrors beyond my comprehension. corner has family guy logo in squishy looking green bubbly thick font.

the AI junk that nobody - including the people making it - have enough real uses or profitable demand for is screwing up all the things that have real uses and decades of profitable demand

p.s. added alt text for the quoted post's screenshot into my alt text
Headline from PC Gamer, from the writer Tyler Wilde: Microsoft CEO warns that we must "do something useful" with AI or they'll lose "social permission" to burn electricity on it. Works should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella. quoted post missing alt text, also a pc gamer screenshot: Many consumer electronics manufacturers 'will go bankrupt or exit product lines' by the end of 2026 due to the Al memory crisis, Phison CEO reportedly says By Jeremy Laird published yesterday This mess is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

me on floor next to a cat, the gray fluffy cat is belly up with front paws curled at the wrist, I'm doing an impression of her also belly up with wrists curled. my shirt says EALA-ers (Electronic Arts Los Angeles) in Lakers font and purple/yellow colors. near a bookshelf most titles can't be read easily as this size but Maus is over there. This is not actually a good photo of "me" in that my face is pointing away from the camera towards the cat.

also, not the point here, and I'm aware it's named after different people, but surely lots of other people see Epstein–Barr virus and think of these guys right

image I found that had the two of them even already had this virus part too

homestar runner cartoon from the internet shows a badly drawn. big robot shaped like a trash can with its top popped open strong bad much more. poorly drawn than usual is popping out the top wearing a blue shiny eye visor holding up a large serrated knife with his boxing glove to the side. it says everybody come on and then because this is from the music video for everybody to the limit. it used to say a nonsense jumble of letters that starts with letter F. but what I have done is I have replaced that nonsense string of letters which would not make any sense if typed out and read by a string reader. just a long series of random characters has been replaced by the different set of nonsense random characters after letter F from the quoted post, which is a old internet image that rotates around with misspelled words on a Windows terminal screen. the background is pink wavy lines and purple highlights.

the best part of GitHub was when he said "IT'S MORGIN' TIME" and continvoucly morged all over those guys
diagram of dots and arrows with text bubbles top says feature branches, develop release branches, hot fixes and master the side is labeled. Tim, which appears to be a typo for time. it then has a variety of speech bubbles. the main one people are making fun of says bug fixes from rel Branch continuously merged back into develop except continuously is misspelled and so is merged resulting in funny words I used in my post. other bubbles are mostly more innocuous. they say things like major feature for next release from this point on next release means the release after 1.0 incorporate bug fix and develop severe bug fixer production hotfix 0.2 stat of release branch for 1.0 as a type of state. only bug fixes! And then tags 0.1 0.2 and 1.0.

oh unity's stock is down to half in the past month

hey I wonder if that's because they keep doubling down on AI trash but people who want to use AI for easy slop code might be avoiding engines entirely to have it vomit out stuff that's purely text code where AI can better navigate or rewrite it all
unity software stock down to half from 40 to 18.68 inn the past 1 month.

I have prepared this cool photo of our internet friend Jörg as a low fidelity (virtual boy fidelity) stereogram so those who can do the parallel style of magic eye can get the full amazing experience of seeing him pop realistically above the background
image of the quoted guy which is red and black imagery of a bearded man in glasses. looking off to a side with some sort of architecture or bridge behind him. I've duplicated the image side by side and in one of the pictures poorly cropped and slid the part of the picture. that's him in the foreground. this has the effect that if someone looks at the images with what's called parallel technique, meaning that their eyes don't converge on the image in front of them causing the duplicated image to overlap, it'll appear to pop into the foreground through stereoscopy. this technique was popularized as magic eye in the '90s but predates it as stereography.

I recognize this is a knot with no easy answers and pharma companies are used to infinite profit by leaving us homeless by medical bankruptcy but also--and my sad frustration is with the system not people--where is the rest of the world on this? scientists elsewhere can't make a case for the work? 🤔

Ra'Virr the Khajiit trader in Balmora when it's the first real shop players find so they turn on sneak to think about stealing stuff off the shelves causing the NPC to speak up with lines indicating you're not as sneaky as you think
humanoid fully clothed cat standing in an old place that has rugs on the walls stone ground from the Morrowind video game. missing alt text from quoted post is a black cat on a convenience store counter. it's a real photograph rather than a video game image like my own picture. the black cat is doing a big stretch on the counter causing his claws to pop out from the little house cat sized mittens. although this is not actually a sign of threat using the claws, it's naturally perceived as such by people because it reveals the normally hidden long sharp pointy claws.

my AI girlfriend was the quake reaper bot mod made by steven polge

*for anyone who wasn't alive the gameplay bot in no way involved the graphics card in either its training, development or use, but the card did enable see-through water and better lighting. this reply is a joke void where prohibited
mid-1990s early graphics card. basically this looks like about a dozen black microchip things on a green computer insert with a port for old D-sub 15 pin blue trapezoid plug screen cable port. specific model is 3DFX voodoo Video Accelerator diamond monster 3D PCI 4MB PCI.
